Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.

I don't like to sell my finest pieces.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

I'm not too interested in books about India.

I was in a convent for a year.

Sex is energy.

First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.

A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.

Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.

Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.
